Hand-eye coordination is the ability to move the hands and fingers precisely in
relation to what is seen through vision. This helps in the satisfactory
performance of many skills , including eating, catching a ball, coloring, tying
shoes, writing, threading a needle, playing a keyboard, and playing sports.
Motor skills, often referred to
as locomotion, are abilities
that depend on the use and
control of muscles. Mastering
these skills, although
seemingly just a physical
development skill, relies
heavily on intellectual, social,
and emotional development.

“fine” motor skills develop. These
skills involve the use of smaller
muscles in the body, such as
those of the eyes, hands, fingers,
feet, and toes.
Many “fine” motor skills require
increased manual dexterity.
Dexterity is skilled use of the
hands in manipulation of objects.
Occupational therapy
(regular periods of suitable
productive activity as
treatment) and physical
therapy (therapy to increase
muscle tone, flexibility, and
range of motion) are
available for children with
delayed or atypical motor
development
